I hope this is an okay post to make here, there's a handful of great MFPers here with excellent knowledge that I felt most comfortable coming to in asking this. Last thing I'd want to do is spam it up if it's considered a silly post. It's mostly just a question regarding RMR testing and it's accuracy. :flowerforyou: This morning I had my RMR tested to get a better idea of where my metabolism is at/what I burn at rest. To my surprise, it came out to 1820! Maybe because I haven't done much research on it, I felt like that was very high.

My poorly stunted brain can't seem to wrap around the fact I can burn that much at rest, then again I've had in drilled in my head for years that I was doomed to have a ****ty metabolism because my parents 'had bad ones', that stubborn weight loss was a result of poor family genetics, certain supplements or medication would 'correct' everything into functioning 'normally' etc.. anyway, a little info on my body comp -

Age: 22
Gender: Female
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 187.6lbs
BF%: 35.4%
Lifestyle: 5 days a week of retail with mostly standing/walking, intermittent stocking, squatting, 30lbs+ box lifting, etc.
Workouts: 3x a week for an hour with 5x5 program + a tad bit of HIIT.
Also 1 day a week of Crossfit.

For those who have done testing, or have read up on other's results, is that a fairly realistic number given my stats? With the multiplier they gave me, my maintenance level comes out to about 2535 calories and apparently that's without exercise incorporated! I'm currently eating at 1750, but wondering if moving up to 2000 is better. I have been losing on the 1750, but dealing with hunger pangs as of late.
